Imantodes cenchoa (Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL “Dormideira”

(Figs. 16.1 and 28.4)

Recorded in the states of Ceará, Pernambuco, and Alagoas. Occurs only in areas above 500 m elevation. It also occurs in Atlantic Forest, Amazon Forest, and Cerrado regions ( Cunha & Nascimento 1978; Martins & Oliveira 1998; Marques et al. 2001, 2005; Nogueira et al. 2010, 2011). It is apparently restricted to moist relictual forest in Caatinga ( Loebmann & Haddad 2010). It has arboreal habits, is nocturnal, and feeds on frogs and lizards ( Marques et al. 2001).
